If you have the time (and the inclination!), you can take part in an R1 interactive patchwork of pictures.

Go to Jo's page at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/jowhiley - Then you have to see where you can spot Jo (wearing a distinctive stripey jumper) within all the pictures!! There are 9 in total.

I'm quite disappointed that that requires MS Silverlight - I'd prefer it to be flash.

[Vivienne]

What does this mean, Console? I can't get access myself.

[Console]

It requires a plugin for Microsoft's 'rich internet application', Silverlight. Basically, it's MS' attempt to overthrow Flash and take control of the web (again). I, for one, will never be installing it, although I never installed Flash either.

[Vivienne]

I see.

Itll be much harder to spot Jo after October...

Found her: -


I also managed to find these Moyles pics: -

I like the big zoomy thing, it's an interesting concept that photo dimensions are now a thing of the past.

I hear that online newspapers are thinking of implementing it - if you want to read something in more detail you can simply zoom in to a tiny text box on the side of the article. There was a youtube video about it, but I can't find it.

Just saw your sig Tial. I feel a need for an excuse coming on.......

[TIAL]

Hmm? No need, it just made me laugh a lot

[Vivienne]

So on-line newspapers may be implementing the big zoomy thing. Thanx for the information, Tial.

I never installed Flash either.

Why?

[Console]

It's a proprietary plugin, for which no native version is available for my AMD64 machine, used primarily for crappy animations and adverts. The few advantages I've ever seen from Flash have been far outweighed by the bugginess and the annoyances.

[foot-loose]

Fair enough.
